That will work - 12 men often does

. really? I've never seen it work

Does if your 12th man has a whistle

 

[centre mid]

Anyone else think Jacko doesn’t know who his starting 11 is right now.

I feel like victor is a striker not a winger.

Ngor should be starting.

Play kuol on the wing.

Play 3 at the back.

Feel like we have shut up shop and it’s out attack that is suffering.

No win in 8 games.

I think Jackos starting 11 was clear before Trent and Migsy got injured.

And now Tapp

Too many key players injured so had to be cautious. When Paull plays in a 4 at the back both he and Kaltak are weak.

We seemed to go to a back four when Kuz went of with Doka dropping back to FB. He and Lucas both made forward runs and that was also when we were most dangerous.

Play 3 at the back.

Not convinced on 3 at the back. Kaltak is too unreliable and also isn't effectively directing the defence. He needs a fellow centre and Tapp is the only one we have.

Although 4 didn't help last game, so maybe playing 4 is as good as playing 10 on the field while we don't really have another centre.

can be risky too when we're using Maz as a wingback, though I think we've been covering those runs so far.

I think 3 at the back, with our back line, cam be exploited way too easily by playing through the centre (though fortunately in Australia we think elite attacking is to run to the corner, cross it to nobody and pray).

Kaltak is much better at LCB. Paull still stands and watches too much and turns his back when defending . Paull doesn't always get in position to receive the ball from him and Kaltak has to play the longer pass forward which doesn't always go to our player.

I dont think that's on him though, it's on the players to make their claim to the spot and back it up week on week. At the moment in mid and up front we are seeing inconsistency from fringe players and should be starters not delivering.

At the back we're just out of options. IMO the 3 CBs will work but Brian needs to be more vocal at steering them which is probably happening but also make sure they know when to tell him to push for the ball. If Paull tells him to shut down the attacker I think we have a chance to concede less in the last ACL game but are they established enough to have that trust?
